Hi Brooke - Three good quatrains in perfect abcb rhyme form. You use metaphor well in this poem - clarity wont call. Well written and the picture of Sawyer suits the poem perfectly, as always. Regards Dorothy x

Hi Brooke,
A poem with a ponder.
Life seemed so simple years ago but not anymore. This crazy European club we joined even has rules on how curved a banana is allowed to be. I am not joking!

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is yet another beautiful and interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. Sawyer looks to be totally engrossed with whatever he is doing. Maybe he is looking for clarity.

Not a problem.
Comment from RodG
Don't we all wish there were answers to the "whens and whys and ifs of life?" Blacks & whites do not always gain clarity simply because we age.
This poem does a nice job of expressing that realization, Brooke.

Brooke: I have learned that within my life there are no answers to the questions of if, when and why. . .none that make any sense, anyway. The picture of Sawyer, in contemplation. . .don't you wonder exactly what he is pondering and how it unfolds within his head??. Enjoyed. Linda

Thanks so much, Linda. There are so many times I wish I could get inside this thoughts. He has really quirky likes such as a consuming fascination with fans and elevators and suitcases LOL - I would love to know the attraction they have for him. Brooke

Solid abcb rhymes
some alliteration
Even when you think you are being clear you are misunderstood.
love the personification

Brooke, you always seem to capture so well the thoughts of children and their emotional feelings. I don't think I said this, but the experience I've had with children is, "They tell you everything they know in five minutes and then they're done". I like that. Best wishes.

Smooth one, Brooke. I hate it when clarity won't call! Nice personification throughout. Funny the way the grays keep popping back. I know you were talking about gray areas but it reminded me of those darn old gray hairs I have to keep covering up. Back to your message - Life is full of those gray areas - we can't put everything in a black and white box. darn it! 8-)

That's pretty cool. You're a really good poet. I like to think I'm alright but i don't really know. I've only been posting chapters of my book on here so far. Maybe once I get a little further in my chapters I'll start posting a poem now and then.

Excellent Brooke. Remained me of my Jacob this morning when picking our tame black berries. Jacob, I said. "Do you know why a blackberry is always red when its green?" Talking about clarity. Blessing to you two.
